I'm removing the second sentence of the reception section as the article being cited is from the blogging platform Medium by an anonymous source, which goes against best practices for verifiability This is not a published article for a legitimate publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scwalsh (talkcontribs) 02:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

[edit]

After typing 'the Dauphin' into the search field, and seeing that the first entry in the autocomplete box was NOT the Star Trek episode (that was second in the list), I was taken to this page anyway. I can tolerate wikipedia's 'geek bias', but this is taking things a little too far, considering how far down the list TNG is on the disambiguation page. Given the fact that this page requires the clarification '(TNG episode)' in the search box, I propose that the default result should be the French court title. Thoughts? --86.152.88.234 (talk) 12:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The MOS calls for eschewing articles (e.g. "The") from the beginning of article titles unless they're part of the actual, emphatic name. Of the entries on the disambiguation page, this is the only one with "The" as part of the concrete title -- hence, BTW, the removal of the "(TNG episode)" disambiguation text. I think the "For other uses, see Dauphin (disambiguation)" text at the top of the article is sufficient. --EEMIV (talk) 13:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On a similar note, the article for Vandread contains a link for a (japanese?) singer referred on that page as Salia. Can "Salia" please not redirect here? I don't care that there isn't an article for that person yet, but I think a real person going by that name takes precedence over a fictional character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steam Giant (talkcontribs) 19:47, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

There is no way in the world "The Dauphin" primarily refers to this Star Trek episode. The redirect bot will be fixing the double redirects shortly, so in the mean time nobody should change the redirect target page to the dab, otherwise all the links will break. I also believe just "Star Trek" should be fine for parenthetical dab because of WP:CONCISE.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:22, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Dauphin (Star Trek)The Dauphin (Star Trek: The Next Generation) – This article was recently moved from The Dauphin to The Dauphin (Star Trek) based on an argument related to WP:PrimaryTopic. While I have no general opinion on moving it away from that location, what has resulted is certainly incorrect. "The Dauphin" remains a redirect to this article, so WP:PrimaryTopic still applies. It would be logical (can't think of a Spock gag to insert here) that "The Dauphin" is instead redirected to Dauphin, and per the television episode naming convention, this is instead moved to The Dauphin (Star Trek: The Next Generation). After all, the only production now referred to simply as "Star Trek" is the 2009 film; the first production with Shatner et al now being referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series.

Prisencolin, just as a note, myself and presumably several others saw your message at WT:TV, and came here to respond rather than starting a new discussion over there. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Homosexuality

[edit]

A "dauphin" is male, the female version is "dauphine". Should it be mentioned that this is the first Trek episode that openly displays homosexuality?

Also, we all knew that Wesley was gay so it's not much of a surprise.
